In Matti Yahu 17:2 The L_rd was seen on the Mount of Transfiguration in raiment "white as the light. Messiah Yeshua is Holy, sinless, undefiled, purity (Hebrew 7:26). faultless like the fine flour of the Meal offering We can see in Revelation 1:13,14 "His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow" other reference: Ecclesiastes 9:7 , Rev 19:14 fine linen, white and clean. |

Brown “..A branch will emerge from the trunk of Yishai, a shoot will grow from His roots” (Yesha Yahu 11:1) |
Brown is the colour of wood, hay and stubble, stick, execute stake, dry branch (Yochanan 15:2). A bundle of sticks laid them on fire, snake that came out that bit Paul’s hand is as poisonous, deadly. Wood are describe in 1 Cor 3:12 as ultimately worthlessà M"If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." (Yochanan 15:6 )Y Prophetic significant: we see the picture of Yitzak carried the wood likewise we also saw Messiah Yeshua carried the execution stake both heading toward same route and same direction. (Bersheet 22:7); The Acacia / Shittim wood is a picture of Messiah Yeshua’s humanity, sinless, not able to sin, incorruptible. Messiah Yeshua’s quite life as a carpenter. |
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify Elohim in your body, and in your spirit, which are Elohim's. 1 Corinthians 6:20 |
Silver is a type of precious metal used symbolically as a picture of
redemption, redeem, atone for. To craftsman has to sit for long hours to purified the impure until it silver
reflect his image.
Silver Sockest use in the Mishkan is known as Kesef Adanim, connection
between heaven and earth. Ex 38:27And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets
(adanim) of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
.! The prohibition against making idols of silver is symbolically a prohibition against making graven images for their
redemptive powers. Noachide Mitzvah N4 teaches us that we may not use graven images to help us understand redemption or redemptive acts.
Ge 37:28 Yosef was sold to Yishmaelites, later story Yosef place put his cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest(Binyamin), Ge 44:2,while Yudas betrayed Messiah Yeshua Mt 27:3 thirty pieces of silver.the price of blood. |
Red (scarlet; Shani / crimson Tola ‘at)
Mark 10:45
|
Scarlet (bright red) dye produced from Kermes female dried worms (tola) known as coccus ilicis which lays her eggs then deposited beneath her body protecting until the larvae were hatched, she then fixed herself so firmly, permanently of her body to the trunk of an oak tree that she would never leave. If she was being crushed or pierce the body a crimson fluid oozed out and stained her body probably even stained the young too. The bloody look of the worm would probably detour or scare the destroyer away. Thus act as a covering or protection to the young even after her death.The scarlet worm is a beautiful tpe of Adonay Yeshua in His death and a picture of the shed blood on the tree (Psalms 22:6). Here we can see a beautiful picture of Passover concept. The Tola [lwt (crimson deep purplish red HTML- dc143c) when crush gives a red dye. Scarlet !wgra deep purplish red was worn as a mark of wealth and prosperity describe in Daniel 5:7, 16, 29. Scarlet is a picture of Messiah's shedding His blood to purchase for our salvation (Rom 3:25, 5:9). " Red is symbol of bloodshed, suffering, our Messiah a man of suffering. If Messiah Yeshua shed His precious blood in obtaining our salvation and this is typified in the scarlet thread ynX hanging in the window of Rahab's house in Jericho. However in contrast We see Messiah Yeshua was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood Rev 19:13 come as a majesty and a conqueror . The Scarlet is also the colour of earth. It shows the glory of man as reflected in the Son of Man (Ben Adam !b ~da),) our L_rd Yeshua HaMashiach and gives us a glimpse of the beauty and display of His millennial reign when He "shall bear the Shekinah (glory) Vermilion, the red sulphuret Mercury is combined with molten sulfur , or cinnabar; a colour used for drawing the figures of idols on the walls of temples (Ezekiel 23:14), or for decorating the walls and beams of houses (Jeremiah 22:14). Red adom is colour of man. The name of Adamah hmda means "red earth, ground, city of Napthali". Adam (~da)) in Hebrew a is EL “dam - ~d” blood which mean blood of YHWH is red, red also symbolized sin, earthly or fleshly desires. In Gen 25:25 Esau sold his birthright for a dish of red lentils and he was born "red and hairy and Edom ~da, means red the descendants of Esau. In Rev 6:4 red is second horse describe; the chariot of war drawn by red horses (Zechariah 6:2).

Blue – Tekhelet
tlkt (Yochanan
Son of YHWH)
|
Blue is the colour symbolized Malkut Shamayim (heaven). The curtains of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) were woven with the blue along with purple and scarlet. it is also closely linked with gold of Divinity, excellence, and commandments (Jeremaih 10:if 9, Ezekiel 23:6, 27:7, 27:24). In Tanakh the robe of the Ephod, worn by the Kohen HaGadol and upon which the Ephod was placed, was all blue. It teaches us that Malkut Shamayim is the sanctuary of the L_rd's priesthood. . Blue is color of tallit / tzi·tzit, (mantle), it is costly, high priest robes, The Israelites were commanded to place a thread of blue in the tzitzit of their tallit because they understood themselves to be "banim la-Makom, noble sons of the King of the Universe, “ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the YHWH” Numbers 15:37-41. This colour is made from the a species of shell-fish, the chelzon of the Hebrews, and the Helix ianthina of modern naturalist. Clothing of blue was appropriate to persons of rank and was linked to dignity, excellence and command. (Jer 10:9; Ezek 23:6) . In Rev 21 :21 we see the Sapphire is crystal blue stone "The second is from heaven."; "He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all." (John 3:31) In Malkut Shamayim YHWH is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. He feels for us and sympathizes with us and minister to us from the Throne of Chesed (Grace) (Hebrews 4:16). We can see YHWH’s handiwork by gazing upwards towards the Heaven. Blue is the colour of commandment is His mercy, |

The green tree type of man either bear fruit or barren / dry branch. (Mat 7:19; Luke 23;31) Green as in the green ears of corn voluntary oblation by Individual for the first fruit meal offering (Lev 2:14). We see man sit on the green grass when YAHSHUA feeding the 5,000. (Matt 6:39).The refreshing colour leads us to consider the coming Millenial rule of our L_rd Yeshua HaMashiach. It will be a reign of prosperity and blessing, and "a morning without clouds, as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain" Green is also used to symbolize prosperity so that in the first Trumpet of Judgment of Rev 8:7 "all green grass was burn up" Likewise in chapter 9:4 the demons released from the abyss will be forbidden to "hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men who have not the seal of G_d in their foreheads. Other reference describe green : Psalm 23:2 (green Pastures contentment, rest, refreshment YHWH SHALOM) ; 2 Sam 23:4; |
